Krila Armije

Krila Armije was established as a publication of the Yugoslav Air Force, known institutionally as Ratno Vazduhoplovstvo i Protivvazdušna Odbrana, or RV i PVO. The magazine’s first issue appeared on 15 July 1948, placing its launch in the early post-war period of socialist Yugoslavia and within the development of the country’s organized military institutions. The publication followed a regular bi-weekly schedule, appearing every other Thursday. This frequency made it a continuing internal communication instrument rather than an occasional commemorative publication. Its stated audience included soldiers, cadets, and officers of the Yugoslav Air Force. By addressing personnel at different stages and ranks, Krila Armije served the broader institutional community of the air force. Its role was described as a reporting tool for RV i PVO personnel. The available information does not provide a detailed contents list, circulation figures, editorial roster, or specific regular departments. It does, however, establish that the magazine was connected to the reporting and information needs of the service. In this capacity, it likely occupied a place within the Yugoslav People's Army’s wider system of official communication, though the precise editorial relationship between the magazine and other military publications is not documented in the supplied sources. Krila Armije also received formal state recognition. By an edict of Josip Broz Tito, who was President of the Republic and Marshal of Yugoslavia, the publication was awarded the Order of Military Merits with Golden Swords, second rank. The honor indicates that the magazine was regarded as having made a recognized contribution associated with military service or institutional work. The reference material does not specify the date of the award or the particular activities cited in the decision. The available historical record does not identify a founder, named editor, independent publishing corporation, circulation, printing location, or definitive date on which publication ended. Nor does it establish whether the title continued under another military or state structure after the breakup of Yugoslavia. Accordingly, the publication’s historical existence and institutional role are documented, while its later trajectory remains uncertain. Krila Armije is best catalogued as a Yugoslav military magazine and publication brand rather than as a conventional commercial company.
